genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use
of all researchers.

My name is Sandra Davis and as
your Idaho County temporary host I try to post as much data online as possible in
order to make it freely available to all. We gratefully accept contributions of
raw data such as census information, marriage/death/birth records, obituaries,
county histories, biographies, old newpaper items -- anything that would help
someone build their family tree!
Feel free to email me with your
contributions -- every little bit helps!
I regret that I am unable to do personal
research.

Idaho County, Idaho
Established
February 4, 1864
|
Idaho
County is a county located in the State of Idaho. As of the 2000 Census
the county had a population of 15,511. The county seat is
Grangeville. Previous county seats were Florence (1864-1875) and Mount
Idaho (1875-1902). At just over 8,500 square miles, Idaho County is the
state's largest county by area.
Idaho County was originally founded as a region of the Washington Territory in 1861, named for a steamer called Idaho that
was launched on the Columbia River in 1860 and served miners during the
gold rush in north Idaho. It was reorganized by the Idaho Territorial
Legislature on February 4, 1864. In this context, the name of the
county predates both the Idaho Territory and the State of Idaho.
Idaho County has two time zones, divided by the Salmon River. Most of
the county is in the Pacific Time Zone, but those areas south of the
Salmon River, including the city of Riggins, are in the Mountain Time
Zone.
